Nestled in the heart of Kawartha Lakes, 2884 Fire Route 47 is simply the ideal waterfront retreat.
This newly listed lake house, meticulously crafted and complete with unmatched views of Stoney Lake, sits pretty on a 3.37-acre peninsula. The property boasts 770 feet of waterfront, which hugs the estate on three sides.
The main cottage — a two-level stone estate — exudes ultimate luxury, with panoramic lake views on display from every principal room. Making the most of its prime location, the home is finished with an expansive deck that overlooks the water, where you'll find a large hot tub, dining area, and sweeping views of Stoney Lake below.
There's so much beauty to take in across the home's 8,000 sprawling sq. ft.
Soaring above the Great Room are 30-foot ceilings, while both a dual-sided gas fireplace and a full wet bar serve as central hubs, sure to draw family and friends in for laughs and libations.
And speaking of which — the catering kitchen and formal dining room make hosting here effortless, so your nearest and dearest will surely feel welcome to make themselves at home.

Ensuring the utmost privacy, the property is adorned with a 35-foot lilac hedge, and the east lawn is complete with a whimsical wildflower garden. The tranquil location provides a true escape from the bustle of daily life, yet remains just near enough to the towns of Buckhorn and Lakefield. And, the amenities of Peterborough are just 30-minutes away (including a Costco —perfect for those long-weekend hauls).
It's not every day that a lakefront estate hits the market, bringing with it a perfect blend of luxury, privacy, and natural beauty. But today, that's exactly what 2884 Fire Route 47 has done.
